Standing with Loxahatchee and The Acreage: A Call for Freedom and Fairness

In the heart of Palm Beach County, a conflict brews that strikes at the core of Libertarian values—freedom, property rights, and resistance to unnecessary governmental intervention. The residents of Loxahatchee and The Acreage, known for their rugged individualism and dedication to a rural way of life, find themselves under siege by local government actions that threaten to transform their community through the enforcement of restrictive codes.

For decades, this community has thrived as a mixed-use haven, where small businesses, farming, and residential life coexist harmoniously. The freedom to run a business from home, keep animals, or park a collection of vehicles on one's property was not merely a convenience but a foundational pillar of their way of life. Suddenly, Palm Beach County has deemed this lifestyle unacceptable, imposing regulations more suited to urban environments, disregarding the unique character of our rural areas.

The Libertarian Party of Palm Beach County stands firm against this overreach. These actions by the county not only infringe upon the right to use one's property freely but also represent a dangerous encroachment of government into the lives of individuals. The essence of Libertarianism is the belief in minimal government intervention, advocating for the rights of individuals to live their lives as they see fit, provided they do not harm others. The county's sudden shift in policy, without meaningful dialogue with the community, embodies the very tyranny we oppose.

The time to act is now. The community's response to these arbitrary and unjust codes will be a testament to our resilience and commitment to freedom. We call upon every Libertarian, every advocate of individual rights and property freedom, to stand in solidarity with the residents of Loxahatchee and The Acreage. Attend the critical County Commissioners' meeting on February 22nd, 2024 at 9:30am, to voice our collective opposition to these restrictive codes. Your presence is critical, as previous meetings have shown that a strong community turnout can influence the decisions of our commissioners.

Sending emails to the commissioners is another critical way to make our voices heard. It is important that these communications reflect our individual perspectives, yet stand united in our message: we will not accept the transformation of our community by unwarranted regulations.

As the meeting looms, let us remember the stakes. This is not merely a local zoning dispute but a fight for the fundamental liberties that define our nation. Wear your red shirts as a vivid symbol of our solidarity, follow our Facebook page for updates, and consider donating to our cause. Together, we are a powerful force for freedom and fairness.

Let us stand united, not just as residents of Loxahatchee and The Acreage, but as Libertarians, as champions of freedom, in the face of this challenge. Tomorrow, we have the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to these principles in action. Let us make our voices heard and reclaim the rights that are rightfully ours.

For those interested in attending the meeting, it starts at 9:30am on February 22, 2024 in the Commissioners' Chambers at 301 N Olive St, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The Chambers are located on the 6th floor; the security guards will direct you.
